Dr. Meenal Agarwal is a leading voice on the eye-brain connection and how modern digital environments are reshaping the way we navigate the world. As a board-certified optometrist and mother, she brings both clinical expertise and lived experience to her work. She opened her first clinic at age twenty-four and has since built three successful practices across Toronto. Her work explores how constant screen use and reduced real-world interaction impact spatial awareness, emotional regulation, and human connection. She coined the term Spatial Awareness Processing Disorder to describe how our flat-world lifestyle alters the brain's ability to process movement and social cues, with early patterns often emerging in children. Dr. Agarwal is the podcast host of Uncover Your Eyes: The Truth About Health and Wellness, bridging neuroscience, health, and everyday life to empower advocacy. Her work has been featured in Time magazine, and on CNN, Forbes, and Fox News. She lives in Toronto with her family.
